Gabby at the front desk was integral to our amazing experience at the Royal Sonesta River North. She was so sweet and accommodating, and is the poster girl for hospitality. We were graciously upgraded to the luxury spa suite for our anniversary, and were so in awe at how the staff made sure our special occasion was special. I spoke with Sophie over chat prior to our trip and she was also such a great help. Gabby even let us pick out a lady hotel mascot card to keep as a souvenir! Will definitely be back and want to explore other royal Sonesta locations in the future.

Washroom door is not fully closed due to the built defect and there is no exhaust which has spread washroom smell all over the room. There are no basic services like microwave and Fridge despite being a 4-star hotel. Extremely disappointed with the room facilities
